the water comes to me
so i drown,
so i drown
in such deep blue
the multi-colored striped fishes
circling around my head
like a shining halo
tangled in the masses of my black
hair
and above my face,
turned towards clarity: sunlight
sunlight,
sunlight;
how blindingly beautiful
it caresses my cheekbones
a parting gift
before i am pulled down into the depths
by the arms that love me.
